Relentless bombing

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 à 20:49

*Palestinians in Khan Younis report relentless bombing. People are not even safe in Rafah as Israeli bombardment spreads across the south of the Gaza Strip, and living conditions are described as desperate.*

*20 people killed in airstrikes that hit two homes in Rafah, a town IDF told Palestinians to flee to.*

Oil industry swindle

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 à 20:49

*Warning: the UK government’s hydrogen plan isn’t green at all, it’s another oil industry swindle.*

They keep bringing back the same swindles, rearranged in each country.

Climate protester arrests

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 à 20:49

*[UK thugs] make 630 arrests of climate protesters in London in one month.* Some of them were kept in jail for days.

The true supporters of the planet roasters will arrest any number of people to keep the oil and profits flowing. As more people recognize the deadliness of the path we are on, the repression required will increase.

Clean-up bill

vendredi 8 décembre 2023 à 20:49

*Without Reform to Federal Oil and Gas Drilling Requirements, U.S. Taxpayers Could Face a Nearly $18B Clean-Up Bill.*

The decision to count only drilling on federal lands omits a large part of the oil drilling, but the fossil companies are clever at skipping out on their future responsibilities. Ultimately the public will have to pay for much of that cleanup too.

But full cleanup is not always feasible. The oil from the Big Spill is still present on beaches on the US Gulf Coast, and still slowly poisons wildlife, although it does not attract attention by killing massive numbers of animals at once.

These costs of cleanup are just a tiny fraction of the cost of the additional disasters that burning the petroleum will cause. But this fraction is easy to prevent, so we would be fools not to do so.

Apocalyptic conditions

jeudi 7 décembre 2023 à 20:05

The UN says that Israel's bombardment and attacks in Gaza make it impossible to do anything to protect civilians there.
